"David Gonzalez (President Free Agency Basketball/FIBA Agent) and I are really excited about Brendon. We know he understands the game and is a great person. He played for Coach George Suggs at McKendree and the coaching staff only has great things to say about him. "I really liked Brendon at our workout in Louisville in April. He shoots the basketball at a high level with deep range and understands the game well. Also, he has been very professional in all of our talks etc. since the workout. I think he can be a very good overseas basketball player with huge upside. Anyone who has played that well in one of the toughest D2 conferences (GLVC) in the country can play" said Michael Stinnett (Free Agency Director of Scouting.
